Big Pharma wants it all. If Joe puts a cap on insulin, Big Pharma will not give him his 10%. Tough call for Joe.

High prices only hurt people that need this to live. Not dampen innovation. Big Pharmaceutical just want to get richer. Good job Biden!!! Keep up the great work!

Big pharma has been overcharging Americans for way too long, and then selling prescription drugs to other countries for a fraction of what they charge us. It`s time for Americans to stop being milked

Beware of unintended consequences. Like insulin shortages.

Adam, KMIZ doesn't want either one of us. Because we have an opinion, and don't walk lock step with them. Hang in there friend.

Adam Schrader

Horrible idea KMIZ. Will only make me not come here if it continues. What a pain.

Max

Isn't the new annoying KMIZ popup fun. When you click on every article, you have to also delete the pop up, so you can read the article. So very intelligent of KMIZ.

That will be a way for Big Pharma, to justify price gouging. Excuse me, I mean, reasonable price increases.

I have changed my insurance providers, but not my doctors.

Barbara Williams

We have to wait for continuity of care approval, tho it’s only for a short time, then have to find several new doctors
